Disc barrow 610m northeast of Drove Cottage is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Somerset, England. The site is designated as a scheduled ancient monument and represents a distinctive form of burial mound characteristic of the Bronze Age period, roughly 2200–700 BC. Disc barrows are defined by their flattened, circular form with a slight central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank, a design that differs from the more prominent round barrows of the same era. This example, recorded in the National Heritage List for England, contributes to our understanding of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Somerset landscape.
